What kind of soil do succulents need for repotting and when do they need to be repotted?

1. What kind of soil is needed

When repotting succulents, use loose and breathable soil with sufficient fertility to maintain plant growth. The drainage of the soil cannot be too poor, because the plant is very afraid of waterlogging, and poor drainage will easily cause the roots to rot.

You can prepare the soil yourself, such as mixing peat soil, river sand, and granular soil in a ratio of 3:1:1. Granular soil can be made of perlite, vermiculite, etc. Before planting the plants in pots, the soil needs to be disinfected and sterilized, and carbendazim can be used. If this step is ignored, the roots of the succulents will easily rot after being potted.

2. When do you need to change the pot?

1. After succulents have grown for about 2 years, the nutrients in the potting soil are almost absorbed, and it is time to change the pot. If you don't change the pot, the plant will not be able to absorb nutrients and its roots will not be able to grow more fully.

2. After cultivating for a period of time, if the size of the plant does not change at all, or even stops growing, you need to change the pot as soon as possible. When the plant is attacked by pests and diseases, the potting soil should be replaced in time, otherwise the whole plant may die over time.
